The Outdated Method: Why Paper Logs No Longer Work
Paper logs may seem simple, but they present several serious challenges:
-
No real-time visibility into who is in the building
-
Limited data accuracy and prone to illegible or false entries
-
Poor first impressions and lack of professionalism
-
Security risks due to unverified access and no badge controls
-
No audit trail for compliance or emergencies
In an era of hybrid work, strict security protocols, and heightened expectations for efficiency, these flaws are impossible to ignore.
The Modern Solution: Navigo® Digital Visitor Kiosks
Navigo's digital check-in kiosks replace inefficient manual systems with fast, secure, and branded experiences that elevate both building operations and visitor satisfaction. These kiosks are strategically placed in lobbies or entry points and come equipped with robust features tailored to modern property needs.
Key Features and Benefits of Digital Visitor Kiosks
Streamlined Check-In
Visitors sign in via touchscreen or contactless interface, entering name, appointment details, and host info. Frequent guests or pre-registered visitors can check in even faster with QR codes or pre-approval links.
Pre-Screening and Compliance
Health screening questions, NDA agreements, or site-specific rules can be displayed and digitally signed during check-in—perfect for healthcare and high-security facilities.
Instant Host Notification
Upon check-in, Navigo® immediately notifies the host via email or SMS, improving responsiveness and eliminating front desk bottlenecks.
On-Demand Badging
Automated badge printing with visitor name, photo, date/time, and destination ensures visibility and enhances building security.
Occupancy Tracking
Kiosks record check-in and check-out times, allowing property managers to monitor real-time occupancy for compliance, capacity planning, or emergency evacuation needs.
Security Integration
Navigo integrates with access control systems, enabling or restricting visitor access based on appointment times, identity verification, or tenant authorization.
Analytics and Reporting
All visitor data is securely logged, exportable, and available for reporting, enabling facility teams to track visitor trends, manage traffic, and meet audit requirements.
